Don't get me wrong, a good fight once in a while (or even a bench clearing one) is fine, but the refs should have separated some of the fights (like the one where 2 Phantoms had a Pirate on the ground and the ref right next to them was staring somewhere off into the distance.

Of course Domingue interfering in Murphy's fight was not the brightest of moves (preventing him from getting the Shutout according to the announcers). Still, I commend him since Murphy obviously didn't want to continue that fight, but there were other Pirates around that could have stepped in.

Worst comment by announcers "too bad the teams won't meet again this season" (I'm guessing it was a Phantoms feed) No, it is good that they won't meet again this season (I'm not a fan of "gooning" it up as much as the Phantoms do).

I like a bit of fighting, won't pretend otherwise, but I don't like to see one of our better prospects slugging it out when it's clearly not a role he wants to be in, don't want broken hands (or worse) when we need him for the run in. He seemed to be hurt by the last shot too.
